Little Rock has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and fairly cold, but short winters. The average daily temperatures during the summer months, between June and August, range from 69°F (21°C) to 92°F (33°C), while the winter months can be relatively cold, with plenty of rainfall and average temperatures between 31°F (-1°C) and 55°F (13°C). Snow is not unheard of but is seldom excessive. The spring and autumn months of March and April, and September and October, respectively, are the best times of year to visit Little Rock as the weather is pleasantly mild and the colours during these shoulder seasons are glorious, with blossoms and new foliage in spring, and dramatic, rich colours in autumn.
